This novel picks up years down the road from one of my favorite collections: When Calls the Heart. I read these little mass market paperback books enough times to wear out my parents copies until I finally got my own where they hold a coveted place on my book shelves.

But Im afraid I didnt love Where Courage Calls as much as I felt I should and as much as I wanted to. There wasnt any surprise to the characters, nothing was really left to my imagination to wonder and explore as everything was simply laid out in front of me. Much of the story simply moved forward without a great deal of action and instead much internal processing.

I wouldnt say I completely disliked the book or didnt have anything about it that made me want to stop reading it. I liked how Elizabeth took on the town and brought a sense of grace and upstanding to their schools, while also being changed from the person she was when she got there. And there is certainly room for further stories in the series. But Im afraid that this title didnt garner enough interest in the characters to read further.

I dont write this review to discourage other readers, because the story is sweet and means well. It just hasnt been my favorite of tales so far this year.

This review is my honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers through Litfuse for my copy to review.
